We had a great 6 day safari with Mark as our driver. We were able to customize the trip to our specific needs and we did in fact see the Big 5 within the first 5 days! No unexpected fees besides the tips and we were very glad we went with a local company.

Efficient, flexible, very professional
We are a group of four friends, and we've decided to visit Tanzania in July 2026. The most important part of the journey being a 4-days safari tour across the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro parks. The current geopolitical situation made the decision-making process rather difficult, especially when coming to select the right tour operator. Finally, we picked Makini Safari Tour, also thanks to a great contact point: Miss Ilham. She understood very well our stringent requirements, in terms of flexibility in down payments as well as regarding the overall tour organisation. She assigned us a very professional driver (given that the roads in the parks are often dirty and full of bunches, a good driver is a must!!), very good accommodations, etc etc. The final result was a marvelous safari journey. We strongly recommend Makini, and Ilham as an interface.

These guys are great!
Had a GREAT time on our tour. Clinton was super accommodating and flexible; really helped us out a lot when we had to postpone the whole trip and even make some quick changes. The lodges were all great, clean, comfy, and offered good food. Our guide, Silvan, answered all of our questions and took us to see all the animals we could see. Highly recommend these guys!

Breathtaking must see adventure
Wow, just wow! Our experience with Lion King was amazing from beginning to end. The staff was patient and responsive from the beginning, even with flight delays and unexpected world events. They were able to accommodate the dates and logistics with our Kili climb. When Justin picked us up late at night from the airport, his warmth and welcome helped me know we were in the right place.
Our guide Temba was the star of the safari. He was expedient and very knowledgeable. He helped us find all the game we hoped to see, leopards, cheetahs, lions. He was very helpful with my photography goals. Temba also share a lot about the local and Masai cultures that we loved learning about. Truly appreciated what he brought to the trip.
The accommodations were stunning. We camped in luxurious tents in the Serengeti and got to hear the hippos singing at night. We visited a Masai village and ended with a stay at the Escarpment lodge with a breathtaking view of sunset over Lake Manayara. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate, this is the company to book with.

Marcus made us feel safe, cared for and gave our family a safari we will never forget.
Our African safari was a bucket list trip for our family and something we had been so excited about and planning for over a year. From the moment we met Marcus from Axis Africa Safaris, we genuinely felt so well taken care of.
Marcus was our driver and guide, and we always felt incredibly safe with him. He is a very cautious and experienced driver, and we felt protected and completely comfortable throughout our entire trip.
His knowledge of Kenya, the culture, the game parks and especially the animals was amazing. We learnt so much from him along the way. He was also a fantastic listener and really took the time to understand what we wanted from our safari and accommodate our requests.
And when it came to the actual safari Marcus gave us front row seats to the animal action! We had some absolutely incredible close encounters and experiences that we will never forget.
We absolutely loved our safari and cannot recommend Marcus and Axis Africa Safaris highly enough. This trip has given our family memories that will genuinely last a lifetime, and Marcus played such a big part in making it so special.

Best guides in Kenya
We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We spent 3 days in Masai Mara with our guides Sadam and Bo. They were incredible!
Driving in Kenya is not for the faint of heart. Sadam could get us anywhere quickly and safely. He and Bo are so knowledgeable about not just the animals that we are seeing, but the region, the agriculture, the history, everything! They could spot animals just about anywhere and could tell us all about them too.
We got up close and personal with lions, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, a jaguar, a cheetah, elephants. It was mind-blowing to see these majestic animals in the wild.
It seemed like everywhere we went, Sadam knew every other driver, ranger or guide. And we understand why — Sadam and Bo are over-the-top friendly, fun, polite, energetic, and so intuitive to the needs of our group.
This was a once in a lifetime adventure that could not have gone better. Highly, highly recommend Axis and their guides: Sadam, Bo, Amos, Charles, Khalifa, and Kevin.

Unbelievable
The safari and our driver was simply amazing. The organisation was brilliant! Our game driver made our safari the best it could possibly be! We want to come back next year and use the same guide. The food was just ok as I am a fussy eater. Everything else was absolutely phenomenal! Totally recommend in a heartbeat!
Thank you Savanna Adventures!
Unforgettable experience
We were very fortunate to have Michael as our guide. He was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, and we learned so much from him throughout our safari. He was also very patient and consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful experience and captured great photos of the wildlife we encountered.
The lodge we stayed at was beautiful. The camp at Serengeti was sufficient and had everything we needed. Food and service were pretty good. This company gave us great value for our money.
We highly recommend this company for your safari tours, and we especially recommend Michael as your guide. His expertise, dedication, and passion made our trip truly unforgettable.

Amazing safari lodge and camping holiday!
Our stay at Chobe House was something we will remember forever. The lodge, set right by the river was the perfect place to base our safari holiday. We were collected from the airport in the luxurious game viewer and taken to the lodge. We were given a warm welcome by all the staff and our safari adventure began. Bradley and his staff could not have done more for us. Always attentive, but unobtrusive, they arranged all activities for us, including river safari and a trip to Victoria falls.
We went on safari every day and wanted for nothing! Every detail (including meals and drinks whilst on safari) was attended to, leaving us to enjoy our safari experience.
Bradley and his team organised the most wonderful camping trip for us - we slept out in the park in sturdy tents arranged around an ancient Baobab tree. It was truly magical to be sat in the safari park, under the stars, with our favourite tipple! We sat and listened to lions roar in the distance and chatted the night away around the camp fire. Just like at the lodge, nothing was too much trouble and every need was met with a smile.
Thanks to Bradley and his team! We could not have asked for more!
